[Mod.Edit: A series of posts about glasses moved from the New Year thread to form a new topic (MG)]
I had some multi-vocals (progressives). They were expensive, but not THAT expensive. I hated them. Actually, I hate any glasses when I am driving because they mess with my peripheral vision.
I do have reading glasses. I can't focus close anymore, which is very common as people age. As far as distance, my left eye is near perfect, but not my right.

Well it seems 2020 wasn't done with me yet.
I've just been told I need multifocal lenses but not because I need reading glasses or help in that area (I'm short sighted) but because I can't focus on a timely manner on distance... seems that the ligaments holding my lenses in places are too tight (I have a bad astigmatism) and as such are actually stopping me focusing on distance. Once they relax, I can see more clearly. By using reading glasses, it takes the strain off the ligaments and allows me to focus in a more timely manner (seconds rather than minutes) on distance stuff. So it's a 4 figure job for my glasses in multifocals (I always have the polarizing lenses and extra thin lenses because of my prescription and issues with my nose, I can't have contacts period, they can't correct my eyesight even before this). Grrr
